Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur. Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur: Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus. Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites. Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul quoque cum beatis videamus, Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus: Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum, Saecula per infinita saeculorum. Amen.

Where there are charity and love, God is there. We gather together in the love of Christ. Let us rejoice and be glad in Him. Let us fear and love the living God. And with a sincere heart, let us love each other. Where there are charity and love, God is there. At the same time, we are gathered into one body, But we may be divided in mind, so beware. Cease your bad urges, cease strife, And into our midst will come Christ our God. Where there are charity and love, God is there. At the same time, may we, with the saints, see The glory of your face, Christ our God: Joy that is immense and good, From centuries to infinite centuries. So be it.
